The City of Schweinfurt:
The Tranquil Center of Europe – is making some noise
A lot of knowledge is concentrated in Schweinfurt plus there is a high density of highly trained specialists, especially engineers, a fact that is well known to cutting-edge companies in the area.
A major bonus for employees are little traffic, ample parking spaces, low rent and real estate costs. On top of that, there are nature parks and recreation areas everywhere – why we call it the tranquil center of Europe. It’s like an insider tip for people looking for a great standard of living at affordable prices. Understanding the local dialect is going to be a challenge that you will master eventually.
#What linguists say about the Schweinfurt dialect:
The Schweinfurt dialect is particularly thick and locals have a peculiar way to form plurals that defies German grammar and is truly unique to the city. Consequently, the dialect is defined as “Schweinfurterisch.”
